Samsung F480 Tocco

+ The full touch screen is really easy to use and the screen is easy to read and large

- No games with the phone

+ Widgets are real coo useful and fun way to use the phne, the picture quality from the camera is brilliant, design is fabulous - will always go fortouch screen now over traditional buttons.

- sometimes over sensitive, cant get it to sync with my pc and the 'leater' flap is ugly but necessary so not to scratch the screen.

+ the camera is excellent and easy to use.

- the screen is very sensitive and cumbersome to use. The ringtone volume is way to low and results in a lot of missed calls.

+ easy to use,touch screen is fantastic,speed is very good,photo quality is very good.

- battery doesn't last very long,if i was away for over 24hrs i would struggle to charge if i didn't have a car charger.

+ looks good easy to use good quality pictures & video

- the battery doesn't even last a day with full charge & difficult scrolling down on call list( keep missing which 1 i want ave to try few times )

+ love the camera clear pictures and music good plenty of memory

- phone sometimes cuts off for no reason when on a call

+ unique to have a touch screen, picture quality is excellent

- Texting is a nightmare, its too easy to touch the wrong key, you cant change the message alert tone, and you cant send a message unless you have the number in her address book.

+ i was really pleased with this phone, love the touch screen, i was told that scrolling through menus was a challenge and irritating as they kept selecting rather that scrolling, i didn't have this problem and after getting used to the touchscreen found all aspects of it easy to use. The camera is great, music player is great, cant really comment on the web functions as i dont really use them. all in all a great phone. i love the music recognition function on this phone, enabling you to record a 10 sec sample of a song and it analyses the sample and produces the artist and song title if it can, it is a shame you get charged for this!!!

- it's too easy to unlock the touch screen and buttons, as you only have to lightly press the hold button, it keeps coming unlocked in my pocket/bag, would be better if it needed holding down for a few seconds to lock. so far the sound quality through the ear piece when on a call has not been great, not awful, but not great. other than that, no complaints!!

- not as good as it is made out to be wishing i got an I phone now

+ Easy to use, good haptic technology feedback from the touch screen, excellent camera, fair battery life, smart, compact, stylish.

- No Wi-Fi capability.

+ It's easy to use and has a very good memory and has good features thast i would have expected.

- should come with a ball point touch scren pen, can be hard to press the right keys sometimes.

+ The Samsung tocco is extremely easy to use with its touch screen. I personally have not had to look at instructions on how to use its so simple and easy to set everything up. The speed of the phone is fantastic also. The best thing with the phone is battery life i used it for 3 days listening to music everyday going to and from work and had to charge it after 3 days use.

- i cant find any bad points about the phone. love everything about it

+ good design and light enhanced

- sending messages and display

+ You have the chance of an 8gb memory in a card. The Samsung PC studio is very good allowing you to take off important information and also for downloading items such as birthdays/anniversaries in the organiser by using a keyboard (less time consuming). Still really finding new things about my Tocco. Has a better memo for jotting down notes as really I wanted something that would cover phone & pda but not too big and bulky. It goes a little way there! Have managed to drag across word and excel documents and although a bit fiddly you can read the information on the documents - a definite good point!!!

- Signal is not very strong. Other phones I've had motorola, nokia have a really good signal. When texting you have to keep having to highlight T9Ab every time you want a capital because there is no symbol on the keypad to just let you shift up to a capital letter. Maybe they could have added this button where the EN is because generally you choose what language your phone is going to be used on so why need a button to change it to another language.

+ Its a sleek, modern design, that's very easy to use, even though it takes some time to get use to the touch navigation. The camera is amazing, and is very good quality with lots of extra features. The internal memory is also good.

- The only down point is that this phone is not the best for music, the volume is not very loud, and the music player is not as high tec as you'd expect.

+ Fairly easy to use

- Screen is difficult to keep clean would be good if it came with a pocket glove.

+ EXCELLENT PHONE AND FEATURES, SLEEK DESIGN AND FAIRLY EASY TO USE (ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE USED TO THE SAMSUNG MENUS) WASN'T SURE WHETHER TO GET THIS PHONE BUT FELL FOR IT WITHIN THE FIRST DAY I HAD IT AND WOULDNT SWAP IT FOR ANY OTHER PHONE (OK MAYBE THE I-PHONE)

- TOUCHSCREEN TAKES A BIT OF GETTING USED TO FOR TEXTING BUT DON'T ALL NEW KEYPADS? HAS DROPPPED A FEW CALLS BUT I THINK THIS IS A POOR RECEPTION/3G ISSUE AND HAPPENS RARELY (ALTHOUGH ANNOYING WHEN IT DOES). CAMERA IS GOOD BUT YOU HAVE TO AUTOMATICALLY ADJUST EACH PHOTO AS THEY LOOK BLURRED TO BEGIN WITH (THE IN BUILT ADJUSTMENT SORTS THIS OUT AND ITS MAINLY THE PREVIEW NOT THE DOWNLOADED PIC THAT LOOKS ROPEY)

+ The Tocco is a very stylish phone and looks good, is easy to use and the widget is very handy for easy access to frequently used applications, the vibrate function on selection is good too!

- Texting can be a bit of a pain, if hit 'ok' before finishing off txt, then need to go hit the keyboard again in order to finish text off.

+ This is a seriously good looking devise with loads of good features that slips nicely into your pocket without any unsightly bulges. Overall it's pretty easy to use although some of the basic functions (texting) seem a little bit long-winded the first time you do them, although they become second nature pretty quickly. The camera quality is great and sound is good on the media player if a little quiet when not used with earphones.

- Sometimes it's a little difficult to hear people on the phone - I found that voicemail was the worst offender here. Although the touch screen is a very cool feature to have it can sometimes be frustrating when you continuously hit the wrong keys even though you think you're hitting the right one. Battery life is OK - nothing fantastic, but I've definitely had worse. As with a lot of devices on the market none of the software is compatable with a Mac but there's always bluetooth to help you over this (most of the time).

+ very easy to use, light weight, comfortable against the ear

- should have more set up stlyes i e menu colour etc unable to find a protective cover especially fitted for the tocco battery life could be a little better

+ The Tocco F480 is so simple to use. Everything is done by touch and it has bags of features so that you can store whatever you need. The music player is one of the best with a superb crystal clear sound prodction. Web browsing is simple and quick so there's no waiting around to download those favourite tunes and wallpapers. All in all I think it's the best phone Samsung has produced yet.

- If I had one niggling bad point to make it would be the keypad. Although it is easy to use, it is easy to hit the wrong keys too. I often find myself looking at the language section rather than having entered a letter in my text. Also it is easy to find you have eneded the text before you have really finished because you have caught the okay key instead of the space key.

+ Easy phone to use, very clearly defined, excellent picture and sound quality.

- Once the battery life reduces to "two bars" the battery seems to run out very quickly.

+ I love this phone, I had read some bad reviews about difficulty txting and was worried as I mostly use my phone for txts but I find it really simple just as easy as a phone with a keypad and I think the numerical touchscreen pad is much better than the ipod touch qwerty keyboard that is displayed

- I can find it difficult if I need to activate the touch screen during a call, eg while retrieving voicemail, it is easy to bring up a the on screen keypad, but when I then place the phone back to my ear I find myself inadvertantly pressing the buttons with my face.

+ This phone is small compact and very user friendly. Even my half blind grandmother could use it.

- unfortunately the phone has a flimsy screen cover supplied with phone that does not always protect the screen and overtime the touch screen may get scratched or worse.

+ looks good, easy to navigate, good music player

- no good with large fingers my boyfriend struggles with it, doesn't go very loud on ear volume

+ every think about this phone screams style. its so easy to use once u get the hang of the touch screen. the 5mp camra is really good and eaasy to use.

- it takes a bit longer to text then wot it normaly would due to the touch screen

+ The phone's pretty smart, and has a good range of features, set out in an interesting way.

- Two handsets have broken on me in 2 months...the first two months I have had the phone...The speakers have broken, so everything is very very quiet, despite being on top volume. Also, the screen lock key jams, so sometimes you have to press it a good few times for it to register. Next, when writing a message, the space button is too close to the ok button, so it is easy to accidentally press the wrong one. Also, my handset cuts out on calls 10 seconds in, even when signal and battery are fine. Overall, I would probably think these problems were a one-off with my handset, but unfortunately, I have had two handsets with the same problems, therefore leaving me to believe there are a few serious flaws with the design.

+ The touchscreen is not difficult to use, and is easy to navigate through the menu.

- The signal is easily lost

+ I love the style of this phone, the touch screen is perfect no faults with that! The camera and video quality is great. The layout is very good, i like the way you can drag and drop toolbars onto the main dusplay screen, Graphics on the internet browser are also very good.

- The sound...i cannot stand how low the volume is on everything, whether its ringing, or you are playing music. Unless i have my phone in my hand i cannot hear it ringing at all. If the speaker is slightly covered you cannot hear a thin. MEMORY I receive loads off text messages, this mobile should hold 600 messages as it says on my memory status yet i only have 200 and it is full. Im so dissapointed in samsung for this because i have an older samsung phone ( E840) which currently has 1000 messages in and is still not full. You would think the newer the phone the better the memory but obviously that's not the case. If the messages could be saved to my memory card the phone would be perfect but unfortunately you can't

+ its easy to use like all samsung phones

- sometimes the screen freezes and the only way to get the phone to work is to remove the battery

+ Very easy to use great features and loads of memory

- Battery life could be a bit better but thats just being picky!

+ The large screen makes day to day use of the phone very simple. There is no scrolling when it comes to reading or sending texts. Music and other items are easy to transfer between pc and phone.

- The touch screen can run away with itself if scrolling through some of the menu's.

+ I think this phone is brilliant. At first i was worried it would take a lot of getting used to as it is a touch screen but it really doesn't and i've rarely had to look at my user manual. I can't really pick fault with it and it comes with a case to prevent the screen getting scratched which i like. The memory is brilliant as well. My message inbox is almost full and i have loads of pictures, videos and music but it hasn't slowed the phone down at all.

- If you had larger fingers it may be difficult to access some things without pressing other buttons accidently however this isn't a problem for me. Also, sometimes the phone cannot keep up with you if you are texting too quickly for example.

+ the phone is all round good!! its easy to use looks good and is just cool. the battery is long lasting. the camera is great, web browsing is easy to. i dont think there is anything bad aboutthis phone and i am glad i choose it.

+ The phone is lovely to use, never jars or freezes as i have found with past touch screens and looks amazing, definately worth it for the wow factor.

- The battery life isnt essentially bad, however i find that the battery can remain on three bars for upto 3 days and then go from 3 bars to no battery in a space of hours. This isnt very helpful when out and about as charging is practically impossible. If the battery gradually deteriorated, then if a day trip was coming up and the phone was on 2 bars, then I would know to charge it. i find it a bit annoying that you cannot input words that you know the phone will not recognise when you have it in predictive text mode. Often i write something, it isnt recognised and have to scroll through all the options before being able to add my own word in. It would be much less time consuming if you had the option to enter a word without having to change it to manual text entry or scroll through options.

+ the screen is easy to use and extremely responsive. I like the way that the software can identify songs and give me the artist and title.

- Don't have any. I would and have recommended this phone to my friends.

+ Touch Screen 5 mega pixel camera

- sometimes my music cant play on it

+ easy to use, small and compact, lots of features

- the sound quailty is not good, even on the loudest setting and drops calls when walking around in certain areas

+ The big screen is great whilst browing the web , the touch screen is eay to use most of the time. The phone itself is stylish and compact.

- At times it can be difficult to text using the touch screen, the battery life is quite poor.

+ Very good looking fun phone. Love the case that comes with it. Loved playing with the touch screen

- Poor battery life. Really bad camera!! If anything moves even slightly the picture will be blurred. Needs to catch up with Sony Ericsson!

+ all in all this is a great phone the only thing that lets it down is that it does not have wifi the camera is good the sound quality is good the internet is great.

- like i said the only thing it lacks is wwifi and the batery could be a litle better .

+ the camera is good and the music is good and the design is quite good

- the battery life is very poor

+ The camera and features are really good on this phone, the messaging is easy to use and all very straight forward.

- The battery only lasts a few days and when you are on low battery it only lasts about an hour before it dies, so doesn't give you much warning.

+ Really pleased with the phone, camera quality is brilliant and touch screen is not too sensitive so easy enough to adapt to from a normal phone. Definately would recommend to anyone!

+ Great phone all round

- Loud speaker not as loud as would like but is fine

+ A great looking phone, easy to use and featuring speedy internet access - I was dubious at first having read other reviews but I've found no problems in using it at all. The battery life is fine so long as you don't thrash the thing with hours of internet surfing and MP3 playing so again no problems from my end. Glad I got one!

- It's not the loudest phone ever so you might be likely to miss the odd call (the vibrate mode isn't particularly powerful either). People with 'sausage fingers' may have problems navigating the screens.

+ Touch screen is easy to use.

- What bad points?

+ Overall it is an excellent phone, its stylish, sleek, and easy to use, should come with a blue tooth headset to complete the package...

- the sound quality can be rather poor, have to be carefull when talking on the phone though as you could accidently disconnect someone.

+ its so simple to use! the language on the fone is easy to understand and its really easy to navigate

- the battery runs out a lot quicker then other fones i have used in the past but will still last 2 days

+ This phone is good because the keyboard islike a normal phone keypad with the numbers and the buttons are large and easy to use unlike a qwerty keyboard on the other touch phine, the widgets are also good, a little big for screen if you have more than one, if you have used a samsung phone before theres nothing new about the features really the menu is the same, the phione is touch screen but i find that it is still very easy to use

- the only thing i find bad about it is you put the phone on the side to take pictures and this means that the pictures come out sideways and sometimes it can be difficulty if you use them as wallpaper as the cut off either side

+ I love the whole look of the phone and the way that it easy to search for what i need.

- I hate the fact that the documents that come with the phone don't give you all the information that you need. Like how do i save birthday onto the phone etc. I don't want to go on the web and find out, it should be in the books supplied with the phone

+ Its very easy to use, and touch screen is excellent. It looks sleek and sounds great. The features are good too, and the widget is quite handy. Web browsing is very easy.

- The 5 megapixal camera is very poor. the 3 megapixal of the samsung u600 is better quality! very disappointed in the camera itself. It is quite long winded when trying to select a contact by choosing a letter.

+ Camera is good

- Could have done with a pen for it as when texting tend to press wrong buttons. Battery life very poor and every phone I have made it has cut me off and I have had to re-dial. Every few days freezes on me and screen was responsive at first but after a few weeks extreemly slow. As yet I have not managed to go online with it keeps giving me a error code.

+ This Phone is quite straight forward to use, The phone itself has many features that i still havent found yet, the keypad also is very good and quite responsive. the 5MP camera on the phone is ok, a bit blury if your out and about and in strong sunlight, but in normal conditions, its fine for a phone camera, the battery life is very impressive! mine seems to last for ages without a charge! so five stars for that. overall good phone, but will fall out of fashion easy.

- The sound quality from the handset is poor, compaired to nokia N95 and even other Samsung models. However it does come with a nice headset with a 3.5mm headphone jack (converter plug is included as you cannot plug 3.5mm direct into the phone) but a good sound come from these as long as the sound is up FULL. Also, my phone has a bad habbit of clicking off in mid call? i dont know whether there is a fault with my handset, or if it is when u get out of range and it just shuts the call off.

+ Touch screen is very good

- Cant change the message tone

+ fantastic camera battery never seems to run out unlike other mobs have had in the past music is clear all round a really good phone best one by far

- so far no negatives

+ Easy to use, looks good and has everything I need and look for in a phone. Best phone I have purchased in a long time.

- Only bad point is the frequency of battery charging.

+ a great phone for all ages and very user friendly

- samsung continue to upgrade every 3 months or so which means your phone becomes dated awfully quick

+ Lovely looking phone, nice and neat to fit into any pocket or bag.

- The touch screen for texting takes a little bit of getting used to.

+ the pictures turn out really good!!

- it takes several attempts at pressing and holding the button to get the picture to take.....

+ phone is good looking and i like the touch screen. the battery life is good compared to a lot of other handsets .camera is very clear been a 5 megapixel. would definately recommend this phone

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Looks great! Lightweight. Good battery life, easy to use.

- The touch screen can be annoying. If you have big fingers, it triggers the wrong keys - even if you haven't actualy pressed them! I don't think I have particularly large hands by the way...and still get frustrated with the touch scren at tmes. However, I generally am pleased with my purchase and would recommend this phone. Ear piece in the head phones not user friendly - keep falling out!! Prefer the type of head phones supplied with the Sony Ericsson phones. The ear pieces come in differennt sizes, so you can choose the one that fits best!

+ the touch screen is very good, the screen is very clear and the text can be be make bigger, great if you cant see as well. The camera is great good quality pictures and videos.

- Battery very poor no short cut to creating a text message unlike other samsung phones

+ Very easy to use..

- battery life aint very good..

+ Music player and camera are great. Memory on phone is great also. Widget screen is a fun feature - ability to drag and drop items. The screen itself is large and of great quality.

- Touch Screen takes a bit of getting used to, after a few days this is totally fine though. Texting can be a bit fidgety sometimes, can be slow.

+ Its very easy to use. Looks fantastic!!!!

- Sometimes It can be a bit tricky to use it. waste a bit of time discovering how certain things works.

+ The camera is of a very high quality and i even found it produced a better image than my own digital camera.

- The keypad for text messages does take a while to get used too as you find that you press the wrong button.

+ Reviewer left no comment

- Only gripe is the keypad is a little too sensative at times.

+ The phone is compact, and simply laid out, takes no time at all to get used to. The Tocco is a nice enough phone, but the little features that are important to me just didn't cut it on this phone.

- Having to use the touch screen in call for navigating telephone systems with 'press 1 for...., 2 for...' is annoying, text message entry is frustrating, and there are limited customisation features. The widgets are selected from a pre determined list, so you cannot choose links to options of your own choice, bookmarks list in order of saving, which is also annoying.

+ there is alot of memory data, and is easy to use, quality of sound is quite good,and it is also a good design

- has not satalite navagation (sat nav), loses signal even in a strong area.

+ camera, music, widget, games, browser

- touch screen while texting, keypad lock button at top of the phone.

+ i love everything about the phone theres nothing about it i dislike

- none

+ Reviewer left no comment

- Difficult to configure with laptop/PC

+ Is generally a really good phone!

- Battery life is not that great.

+ nice looking phone, ideal if you have petite fingers.

- If your fingers are like sausages, or your dexterity is impaired, steer clear It is possible to operate several keys at once
